During an event Monday evening for an immigration forum, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio called Obama’s executive action on immigration “a gateway to something much greater, to comprehensive immigration reform.”

De Blasio was hosting the immigration event that brought out senior Obama administration officials and over a dozen pro-amnesty mayors from across the county.

“The president’s action is a strong beginning, and it will affect millions. It’s also a gateway to something much greater, to comprehensive immigration reform, the thing that’s been worked on for years and years in this country,” de Blasio said at the immigration forum. “The consensus in the room today is that that reform is actually closer because of the president’s executive action,” he added.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray said “whether folks arrived in Seattle because they were refugees, or whether they’re arriving to work in the tech industry that our city is famous for, we need the action the president has taken.”

Fortunately, the American people disagree with both of these clowns.

According to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, 53 percent oppose Obama’s plan to shield as many as five million illegal immigrants from deportation and authorize the extension of legal work permits. Just 34 percent favor Obama’s amnesty plan.
